Nope. I don't do competitions yet. I don't bother if my models are good or not. It is about the pleasure of building and painting!

I like to help so i like questions!

This is how I treat my models;
Give the model a bath with mild soap;
Spray it with a grey primer;
Spray the whole model gloss black;
Airbrush it with the right colors;
remove some paint on some spots (doors/hatches) with a sharp knife (chipping)
Spray the model with glossy varnish;
apply the decals;
spray it with semigloss varnish
Give it a wash with terpentine and oil color (90% terpentine-10% vandyke brown oil color)
Drybrush with white and beige oil color
let the model dry for 2 weeks
spray the model with matt varnish;
spray it very lightly with tamiya buff
apply rust and dirt with mig pigments and/or acrylic color

Wow, you do a lot, and most of it is with an airbrush of which I don't own.

But I'll definitely do some chipping and invest in some varnish (if it can be applied with a brush)

Thanks for the help though!

That's a whole lot of work...

But it does pay off.
